7:03 am
>> good morning, charlie. more united states forces are heading to iraq. president obama plans to send up to 300 military advisers to the country. >> the president acted with al qaeda-inspired insurgents moving closer to baghdad threatening civil war. major garrett is at the white house with the new mission. >> reporter: good morning, and good morning to our viewers in the west. president obama promised a limited, noncombat role for army green berets in iraq. special forces will be embedded with iraqi troops protecting the capital of baghdad. the risks are undeniable as are the fears of an ever-widening military commitment. >> we will help the iraqis who fight against the terrorists and american interests as well. let me repeat what i've said in the past. american combat troops are not going to be fighting in iraq again. >> reporter: the president needs special forces troops to be deployed in groups of 12 to
7:04 am
provide better target information on sunni insurgents and to advice iraqi forces defending baghdad. air strikes remain an option. >> going forward we will be prepared to take targeted and precise military action if and when we determine that the situation on the ground requires it. >> reporter: after a capitol hill briefing on military plans in iraq democratic senator chris murphy of connecticut gave the white house a cautious green light. >> the prospect here is that there could be a full-fledged regional proxy war inside iraq if we don't get a handle on this very quickly. >> reporter: mr. obama said iran which has already deployed troops to protect shia shrines in baghdad, must not aggravate sectarian tensions. >> if iran is coming in solely as an armed force on behalf of the shia and if it is framed in that fashion, then that probably worsens the situation and the prospect for government formation that would actually be
7:05 am
constructive over the long term. >> reporter: this is the first phase of an evolving u.s. military strategy in iraq. air strikes are a real possibility. top officials say that the sunni insurgents become a terrorist threat to the united states bombing attacks could target them in iraq and neighboring syria. >> all right, major, thank you. in iraq this morning, the isis militant army is still battling government forces at the oil refinery in baiji. militants also raided a chemical weapons factory from the days of saddam hussein. clarissa good morning. >> reporter: good morning. well, u.s. officials are saying that it would be virtually impossible for isis militants to actually use those chemical materials. they're old, they're contaminated and they're encased in concrete, but certainly the seizure of any military installation underscores just how chaotic the situation here is. as the battle for iraq's largest
7:06 am
oil refinery grinds on with both sides claiming they have the upper hand isis posted video of its fighters parading through the town of baiji. fighting for control of this vital facility has been so fierce, a plume of smoke can even be seen from space. while the clashes continue the refinery, which is iraq's largest, is not functioning, causing long lines at gas stations in the north of the country and raising power outages, further undermining the government's ability. calls are growing louder for prime minister nouri al maliki to step down and make way for a government of national unity. you can't rely on him, the man has become paralyzed, this sunni tribal leader said. u.s. policy can't rely on a paralyzed man who has lost control of iraq when he is the one who took iraq to this point. maliki's only strategy so far has been to remobilize shiite militias. a move that is seen as fanning
7:07 am
the flames of sectarian conflict. prime minister maliki and his government are obviously disappointed by president obama's speech. they want air strikes and they want them now, but top politicians here in baghdad tell us they believe the u.s. administration wants maliki out and that once he is out and a national unity government is formed, the u.s. may act more forcefully to support the government in iraq. norah. >> clarissa thank you. and iraq is one of the topics we'll discuss with president obama this afternoon at the white house. you can see part of my interview tonight on the cbs evening news with scott pelley and we'll have more monday right here on "cbs this morning." there are major flood threats this morning across the middle of the country. flash flood warnings are posted in southern texas, up to 3 inches of rain an hour is falling around del rio, and more showers are possible in the hard-hit minnesota. rivers there at record levels. the national guard is on the scene. nina moni of our minneapolis
7:08 am
station wcco is near the university of minnesota where mudslides are adding to the emergency. nina, good morning. >> reporter: good morning to you. the worst of the severe weather has passed through minnesota, but there is significant damage all across the state. take a look we're along the mississippi river here on the west bank of the university of minnesota. you can see a mudslide that occurred right next to this hospital fair view medical center here on the campus. all of this happening during a season that's already proved to be one of the worst in record rainfalls. >> the car is flooded. and windows are open. >> reporter: torrential rains brought flash flooding to minnesota thursday. the governor declared a state of disaster in 35 counties. nearly half the state. sean rasmussen and others spent the day trudging through floodwaters, looking for people who needed help. >> walked by a couple times, make sure everything and everyone was okay. anyone need help pushing their cars through.
7:09 am
>> reporter: drivers were left stranded, their cars submerged under water as rivers and lakes climbed to record levels. a 4-inch downpour triggered mudslides like this one in minneapolis. the ground gave way forcing evacuations in a nearby building. 100 feet near the university of minnesota now rests in the mississippi river. an assembly line of volunteers in st. clair raced to protect their homes after a nearby lake rose more than a foot and a half. >> we sandbagged everything at least precautionary. it's rising there's no doubt, and it's a concern. but like i said most of -- half of southern minnesota is concerned right now. >> reporter: with thousands of homes already damaged by floodwaters, many are hoping relief is around the corner. >> when is the rain going to end i guess is the main question. >> reporter: today governor mark dayton is expected to tour more damaged areas of the state, particularly in the southern parts of minnesota. as for this weekend, we are expecting less severe weather,
7:10 am
but still some rain which will give people a chance to at least begin the cleanup effort. norah. >> all right, nina thank you. new pictures from the air show widespread destruction from a tornado that struck wessington springs, south dakota. the ef-2 twister brought winds of 127 miles an hour wednesday. 43 homes were damaged. meteorologist megan glaros of cbs station wbbm is tracking today's storm threat. >> good morning to you, and good morning to our viewers in the west. there's a risk for severe weather today from minnesota into wisconsin, but going into tomorrow, the first day of summer, our saturday that risk area expands to 12 million people from the plains states into the midwest. the risk for isolated tornados damaging winds and large hail will all be a factor. all the while, dry conditions prevail, especially across the state of california, still mired in drought with no flan sight during the course of the weekend. high temperature in los angeles will be a little warmer, to 85 degrees. 105 in las vegas.
7:11 am
109 in phoenix. the temperature in salt lake city to 88. denver 87 degrees, much cooler up in seattle with a high of just 64. >> megan, thanks. this morning the fbi is helping investigate the possible exposure of government scientists to anthrax. so far there is no evidence of foul play. the centers for disease control in atlanta say lab researchers failed to follow proper procedures. very sent vicente arenas is at the cdc. >> reporter: good morning, and good morning to our viewers in the west. the cdc continues investigating the breakdown in safety protocol here. as many as 75 scientists may have been exposed to the potentially deadly bacteria. those scientists are being monitored and given medication. the cdc discovered the exposure last friday when the anthrax bacterial plates used in the labs were being gathered for disposal and live bacteria was detected on them. they immediately started notifying workers who may have
7:12 am
handled the anthrax. those workers, as many as 75 in all, were given antibiotics and a vaccine. they'll be closely monitored for up to 60 days. >> this is a serious incident. it should not have happened. >> reporter: dr. william schaffner is an infectious disease specialty with vanderbilt medical center in nashville. he says the incident does not pose a risk to the general public. >> it is a low-level risk incident. this is a confined exposure. it's being well addressed. >> reporter: exposure to anthrax often leads to flu or cold-like symptoms and can be fatal if untreated. cdc investigators say the anthrax samples were being transported from a high-level biosecurity lab to three lower security labs not equipped to handle live anthrax. however, the lab used a procedure that did not adequately inactivate the samples. scientists in those lower level labs who thought the samples were safe were left unprotected from the infectious bacteria.
7:13 am
officials added that since the proper protocols were not followed disciplinary action will be taken as necessary. >> the cdc has responded promptly, transparentally, aggressively and is doing all the right things now. >> reporter: the cdc says as many as seven researchers may have come into direct contact with anthrax. it could take up to two months for the symptoms to appear. norah. >> vicente, thank you. a new poll this morning shows public approval of congress is the lowest ever. the gallup poll finds only 7% of americans have a great deal or quite a lot of confidence in congress. this morning house republicans have a new group of leaders who say they're focused on the american people's priorities. nancy cordes is on capitol hill with the leadership change. nancy, good morning. >> reporter: good morning. the party moved very quickly, just over a week after eric cantor's surprise defeat in virginia republicans have elected kevin mccarthy of california to replace him as house majority leader.
7:14 am
mccarthy is going to be moving up one spot in the leadership ranks from house majority whip but the leader is a much more powerful role. the leader sets the legislative agenda. he decides what gets voted on when and he's second in command to only the house speaker, john boehner. this is a very rapid rise for mccarthy who was only elected to congress in 2006. >> they elected a guy who is a grandson of a cattle rancher, the son of a firefighter. only in america do you get that opportunity. they elected a guy that's only grown up through the grassroots. they elected a guy that spent his time going around recruiting many of these individuals to get the majority. >> reporter: mccarthy only faced one challenger who got into the race a little bit late and there was a separate election to fill his whip slot and the victor there was a little more competitive, steve scalise of
7:15 am
louisiana. >> nancy, conservatives cheered the defeat of eric cantor but what about mccarthy's record? how many hispanics does he have in his district? >> reporter: actually he's a little bit more moderate than eric cantor and that reflects as you mentioned, his california district. he does have a lot of hispanics there. he might be more open to immigration reform. there was some angst among conservatives about this but at the end of the day mccarthy had two big things going for him. first, he's very well liked by his fellow house republicans, and second this defeat of eric cantor in virginia came as such a surprise that mccarthy as a membership member of leadership was best suited to capitalize on that and mounted a bid for his spot very quickly. wisconsin's governor is firing back to prosecutors who accuse him of playing a central role in illegal fund-raising. scott walker is a potential presidential candidate in 2016. court documents revealed thursday claim walker and his staff worked illegally with conservative groups to plan strategy. right now no one faces any
7:16 am
criminal charges. the governor calls the investigation politically motivated. he released a statement saying quote, the accusation of any wrongdoing written in the complaint by the office of a partisan democrat district attorney by me or by my campaign is categorically false. this morning police are searching for whoever shot three people outside a denver area concert. the shooting forced a lockdown at the famous red rocks amphitheater last night. the s.w.a.t. team swept into the venue after gunfire was reported in a parking lot. it happened after a rap concert to benefit an anti-gang program. police searched the cars of concert goers, but this morning no word about arrests. three victims are in fair condition. at the world cup in brazil team usa faces another big challenge this weekend. the u.s. is second in group g after winning its opening game but the americans need another victory to be sure of getting to the next round. the last time the u.s. won back-to-back games at a world cup was in 1930. elaine quijano is in rio de janeiro with a preview of this
7:17 am
weekend's action. elaine, good morning. >> reporter: good morning. well, team usa may have beat ghana, but on sunday they will be facing a very different opponent portugal. and the americans will do so without one of their best players. team usa was back at practice thursday preparing to take on portugal without striker josie altador who suffered a hamstring injury in monday's game against ghana. >> oh, no he has pulled up and that looks like a hamstring injury. >> reporter: grant wahl is traveling with the team. he says while the u.s. may have won, they hardly dominated the game. >> after the game the players said we know we can improve for the next game. >> reporter: the americans will face off against a powerhouse. portugal is ranked number four in the world and is armed with arguably the best player in the sport, cristiano ronaldo. but the 29-year-old team captain has been hobbled by a knee injury, and during practice thursday was seen wearing a knee strap. >> i expect him to play on
7:18 am
sunday and i expect him to play well. here's a guy who doesn't have that many more world cups left in him and he doesn't want to go out against the united states. >> reporter: portugal is also coming off a stinging defeat losing 4-0 against germany. u.s. midfielder jermaine jones seize strength in his team. >> we can have like maybe two or three special players or key players but if you play like a team, you be stronger than two or three players. >> reporter: but steamy conditions on gameday could affect players from both sides. temperatures in the amazon city where the match will be played are expected to climb into the 90s sunday and with the humidity will feel like triple digits. >> a lot of us we played in temperatures like that. it's probably similar to houston, dallas midwest, east coast in the summer. so hopefully when we get there, it won't be as shocking as it has been to some other teams. >> reporter: even against weather and long odds rising star graham zusi says team usa
7:19 am
is exactly in the right position. >> the u.s. has always been that underdog. i think that that pressure just drives us even more to play better. >> reporter: now, if the u.s. wins on sunday the americans will advance to the second round of the world cup tournament. if they don't win, then thursday's match against germany will determine the u.s.' fate. >> very exciting. elaine, thank you. it's 7:19. ahead on "cbs this morning" we'll check headlines from around the nation. plus new research on how the sun today the last full day of spring. lots lot toward the an and should be a very nice day ahead. over rug hill couple of clouds passing on by over russian hill. a few clouds rolling across the skies. temperatures in the 80s in the valleys. a lot of 70s and 80s inside the bay and 60s along the

7:28 am
good morning. liza battalones here. slow traffic now from westbound 37. this is leaving vallejo from the mare island area approaching -- actually it's almost slow all the way into novato. part of the reason it's so slow, we have nascar taking place over the weekend. so expect delays for west 37 approaching sonoma raceway. the bay bridge commute leaving oakland heading into the city it is still jammed up from the foot of the maze with the metering lights on. that's "kcbs traffic." here's lawrence. >> partly cloudy skies to start out your day just the last full day of spring if you can believe that. out the door we go, we have some sunshine and a few clouds out over the bay right now. a little fog along the coastline. early on today looks like by the afternoon, we are going to find a lot of sunshine in many spots. some 80s in the valleys, 70s and 80s inside the bay. and 60s along the coastline. as we look toward your first weekend of summer, a little cooler starting on saturday, warming up on sunday, cooling back down toward the middle of the week.

7:31 am
will introduce you to the 23 i'll say that again, 23-year-old who helped bring down eric cantor. see why he's not so eager to work in washington. that's ahead. time to show you some of the morning headlines. "the new york times" looks at new developments in a case that captured national attention. five men were wrongly convicted in the sexual assault of a jogger in new york central park. now 25 years later the men reportedly reached a $40 million settlement with the city. the five black and hispanic men were convicted and jailed in an attack on a white woman. another man confessed to the crime years later. this settlement must be approved by the city's controller and a judge. "the washington post" says the cia developed a scary toy action figure for osama bin laden. his face melted to reveal a red-faced demon underneath. the toy was supposed to turn kids and their parents away from the actual terrorist, but the project never made it past the prototype phase. our washington affiliate, wusa, says a major hospital
7:32 am
system in maryland will stop hiring smokers. anne arundel medical center will no longer hire nicotine and tobacco users starting in july of 2015. current workers who smoke can keep their jobs. the hospital has more than 4,000 employees. and "the new york post" says a young bullying victim allegedly killed one of his tormenters. 14-year-old noelle estavez begged to be sent to another school. he stabbed a classmate. he's charged as an adult with murder. president obama often complains about a do-nothing congress but some of his fellow democrats are balking over his choice to be ambassador of norway. george tsunis raised more than a million dollars for the president's re-election campaign. margaret brennan at the state department says the appointee faces a series of challenges. margaret, good morning. >> reporter: good morning. charily, there's a logjam in congress over confirming a number of ambassadorial
7:33 am
appointees made by the white house, but there's one in particular, the next ambassador to norway, who's under fire by congressmen who claim he created a diplomatic incident before even getting the job. new york businessman george tsunis, a major fund-raiser for the obama campaign may be the next ambassador to norway. >> i stand corrected -- >> reporter: but this lackluster performance at his january confirmation hearing is still hurting his prospects. >> there were a lot of markets that will continue to open up. it's important that we continue -- interesting. >> we'll move on to miss bell. >> please thank you. >> reporter: tsunis mistakenly referred to the president of norway, but the head of state is the prime minister. he called a prominent party in norway's government a fringe element and said he'd never even visited the country. >> he was not nominated for his
7:34 am
knowledge of norway i think that's safe to say. >> reporter: minnesota senator al franken represents a large scandinavian constituency. he sent a letter to secretary kerry this month telling him that he will vote against confirmation. >> mr. tsunis' performance in his confirmation hearing was disturbing to the norwegian american community in minnesota and actually to norwegians. >> reporter: tsunis' stumbles caused an uproar in franken's home state where 20% of the population is norwegian. >> he has no background and no knowledge of norway or the norwegian relationship. >> reporter: scandinavian mike davis, a minnesota attorney is leading the local opposition to tsunis' nomination. he started an online petition calling on the president to withdraw tsunis' name successfully lobbied both of minnesota's senators and wrote a personal letter to obama's chief of staff, minnesota native denis mcdonough. >> we would like to see the
7:35 am
nomination withdrawn by the white house and give us the opportunity to have the best nominee possible for -- to represent the united states in norway. >> reporter: the state department stands by all the president's nominees and says tsunis' management experience makes him qualified. they're urging congress to vote on all 33 state department nominees who are caught in this bottleneck on capitol hill. gayle. >> thank you, margaret. summer officially kicks off tomorrow, but a new study suggests that tanning can become a physical addiction. researchers find exposing mice to uv radiation for just half an hour a day can get them hooked. >> the rays trigger feel-good hormones called endorphins and act on the reward centers on the brain just like heroin and morphine. the findings could explain why people crave the sun despite the skin cancer risk. dr. elizabeth hale is a doctor
7:36 am
at the langone medical university. i know this was a study on mice but how did they tell they were addicted to the sun? >> the study was published yesterday and basically the scientist took mice shaved them and exposed them to intense uv exposure that was equivalent to about 20 to 30 minutes of midday florida sun. they found that within one week the beta endorphin levels rose. endorphins are natural feel-good hormones proud by the brain. they're like natural produced opiates. after those levels raised they gave them an opiate-blocking drug and those mice went into physiologic withdrawal. they started shaking, trembling, having teeth chatters. the same signs and symptoms we see in heroin addicts when we block their opiate recenters. >> how does that translate to people? >> the same pathway of uv raising endorphins occurs in humans as well. but what's really important is what i see in real life. some of my own patients even if
7:37 am
they have already had skin cancer, are still coming in so tan. it's like how many times can i tell you we know melanoma continues to rise, we know the sun causes skin cancer they're still coming in tan. now this study is showing tanning addiction is real. >> and tanning beds are particularly dangerous. >> tanning beds are particularly dangerous. the exposure from those beds can be 12 times that of natural sunlight. and probably because it's such a short intense burst, we know those mutations that occur in tanners directly increase your chance for melanoma but this study show people go in to get that rush that rush of endorphins. >> i use an spf 50 or higher but i feel better when i'm in the sun. there's a warming effect just from the heat but there is something. do you still get that effect if you're wearing sunscreen? >> it's a good question. i commend you for wearing spf 50. it's important to stay outside and be active. the study did not address the effects of sunscreen. if you're wearing sunscreen or some protective clothing you
7:38 am
won't get that same addicting rays of endorphins. >> we can be active and get that. >> how do you activate the endorphins without sun? >> that's a great question. i think that's what we need to do. we need to encourage our patients to do other things that naturally raise endorphins like exercise. studies show that meditation sex, eating chocolate can all raise our endorphins in a more healthy way. >> i'm in favor of all of them. >> if you can do them all at one time, you're in great shape. >> that would be impressive. >> and for an extra high do it in the sun. >> dr. elizabeth hale -- >> practice safely thaet. the man who helped kick house majority leader eric cantor out of office isn't even old enough himself to run for congress. >> you run the risk of this being the high point of your political career at age 23. >> right now i have a better record than karl rove so -- totally sarcastic. >> we'll see what karl has to say about that. only on "cbs this morning."

you like the music? >> the house candidate who stunned washington by defeating majority leader eric cantor has a new campaign manager this morning. tea party favorite dave brat tapped a former cantor aide to run his general election campaign. that means a new role for the 23-year-old who ran brat's primary campaign. chip reid sat down with the campaign whiz kid who helped pull off one of the biggest political upsets in american history. he is in washington. chip, good morning. >> reporter: well good morning. zach werrell told us he lost 25 pounds after the campaign that ended after a 20-hour series of days. he needed a break. he may no longer be brat's campaign manager, but don't be fooled, he has been bitten by the politics bug. >> you run the risk of this being the high point of your
7:44 am
political career at age 23. >> right now i have a better record than karl rove so -- i'm totally sarcastic. >> reporter: one week after ending eric cantor a humiliating defeat, zach werrell says it still hasn't fully sunk in. >> do you feel like a giant killer? >> no. i just did a job. >> reporter: he was not even a year out of haverford college when he received a call asking him to help unseat one of the most powerful men in congress. after a job interview at a local restaurant, he was given the keys to david brat's shoe string campaign. >> we had three people working in the same space and volunteers coming in. it wasn't a machine kind of political campaign it was the people who were doing it. >> reporter: the campaign was vastly outspent yet still won with 56% of the vote. it was hailed as a major political upset, but that victory came with a price. the self-described libertarian's social media accounts were scoured for controversial statements.
7:45 am
one blogger called him a smug baby whose facebook page was a ses pool of contrarian bs. >> the night of the election i had a bazillion notifications so i took my social media down. >> what exactly were you trying to say about trayvon martin and abortion? >> what i was seeing is people were calling for, you've got to get george he's got to be found guilty of something. you've got to get him, you've got to get him. on the flip side they're for what i see as murder on the other hand. >> abortion. >> right. >> would it be fair to say that at least politically sometimes you're an angry young man? >> i don't think angry. my goal is always to stimulate discussion. after learning what i've learned doing this race i would never, ever consider using the same rhetoric ever again to start a discussion. >> reporter: the searing experience, he says, is part of the reason why he doesn't want to work for brat in washington if he wins. >> i try to stay humble and all
7:46 am
that stuff and the name calling, just because people don't agree with me on some issues, it's just -- it really irritates me and that irritates the american people too. we're sick of it. >> so you know how to run a campaign and you know how to win. >> theoretically, yeah. >> will you run one for yourself at some point? >> it's not something that i'm ruling out. i used to be much more enthusiastic about running for office until i've seen politics from the inside. >> you sound like somebody who's going to run at some point. you're wrestling with the issue, but not ruling it out. >> it's possible. there's a lot that goes into running a campaign. >> will you tell us first? >> sure. >> another reason he says he's reluctant to run for office is that he loves small town life too much. he grew up in rural maryland and he's happiest when he's down on the chesapeake bay catching crabs. the question is whether that will be enough to resist the attraction of the bright lights of the nation's capital. >> so chip is he still going to work on the campaign? >> it's very unclear at this point.
7:47 am
he says there are a lot of different doors opening for him and he's looking at all these different possibilities, but he can do anything from small town politics to prepare to run for congress himself but it's not clear if he's going to work on this campaign. >> but is it his for the asking? >> this is really unclear. my guess is it's got to be because he did a sterling job for brat in the primary, but he really wouldn't talk about it. i think it's being negotiated. >> he's not going back to maryland to catch crabs any time soon. i think he's just getting started. today the last full day of spring. a few clouds outside right now. lots lots as we head in toward the afternoon, lots of sunshine. very nice day ahead. over russian hill clouds passing by otherwise high pressure weakening a little bit and you're going to see a few more clouds across the skies. temperatures today into the 80s in the valleys, 70s and 80s inside the bay and 60s along

>> andrew joins us at the table. you went all around the country and covered all the bases, and what i took is that college costs is getting higher and higher and nobody knows what to do about it and it doesn't seem to be changing. >> tuitions have hissen by 120% since 1978 and president obama proposed something last week and that doesn't get at the financial model. >> you had a girl that said i am afraid to leave. she will leave with $140,000 worth of debt. >> absolutely it's an interesting example of millennials that feel they are being accused of being entitled or lazy but for many baby boomers who were able to pay for jobs like painting a house during the summer now that's just totally impossible. >> tuition is rising because of the drying up of funds of other
8:35 am
universities. >> yeah state funding has declined by 40% since 1978. >> so if you are leaving college with $140,000 in debt i think it racesises the question is it worth it? >> that's what parents are asking. that's what film tries to tackle. there's a wage premium for those that do go to college, and on those terms college financially is a good investment but when you are taking on that amount of debt but if you go and don't complete and drop out, then the calculous changes dramatically. >> median lifetime earnings with a bachelor degree is $1 million greater than somebody with a high school diploma. >> yeah and that is spoken about in the film. >> i think online education in the flip classroom model is very compelling. that's basically when students watch a lecture at home on video
8:36 am
and then go into the class with a human instructor to guide them. >> but you pointed out, online instruction did not work. >> yeah when the class is delivered exclusively online then students really suffer. >> there's more drop off as well. >> yeah, people drop out. and those with the least confidence need help. >> so president obama is addressing student loan debt what are we going to do in the country about it? >> that's absolutely right. president obama has opted to increase the number of students that will cap students to 10% of their income. that's a very important and a good reform that we applaud, however we also believe that the whole structure, the financial structure of higher education needs to be reformed. we see in the film a proud tradition of american
8:37 am
governments participating in higher education through the higher education act of 1965 and i think we need that level of reform now. >> it stuns me every time i hear that student loan debt is greater than credit card dealt in this country. is there a question about whether government should be making money on that? >> as elizabeth warren says in the film the system seems rotten. again, i think we need -- >> rotten why? >> because students want to benefit from a four-year bridge between adolescence and adulthood. they want to have the opportunity to explore what they are good at and care about, and they need support to do that. if they emerge from that experience with a crippling amount of debt no amount of job skills that they have gotten in the four years is going to save them from that burden. >> you pointed out stories like
8:38 am
steve jobs and zuckerberg and bill gates and people say why should i go spend money for college and do what they are doing and not have to pay for a education? >> that idea has prop agated since the tuition. >> there are not hundreds of thousands of steve jobs out there? >> no. >> doesn't work for most people. >> the founder of paypal there. >> the conventional wisdom was we need to fix k through 12 and the higher education, the financing of it all now needs to be examined. >> it's crazy how much it costs to go to college. >> "ivory tower" is in theaters
